Policies

Responsible Investing

Trefoil instruct an ethical screening process to be carried out by their investment managers, abrdn. These screens are reviewed on a regular basis and applied across Trefoil’s investment portfolio to prevent any inappropriate or irresponsible investments being held. At the forefront of abrdn’s strategy to ensure responsible and ethical investment on behalf of Trefoil, is Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) analysis. ESG enables Abrdn to engage with companies, across 48 countries, to research, scrutinize and drive forward better corporate behavior, which in turn assists them in delivering ethical investments.

The Trefoil Trustees constantly review their investment policies and make amendments where necessary to reflect any change of circumstances. All at Trefoil are deeply committed to ensuring investments are managed responsibly.
